“”The Trump property — at $136 a night — was less expensive than the Marriott property — $161 a night…” so a C-17 crew stayed there during an overnight stop in Scotland. If ever there was a crisis demanding Congressional investigation, this is it.” DPS

The U.S. Air Force is defending an aircrew’s decision earlier this year to make a scheduled stop in Scotland and stay at a luxury resort owned by President Donald Trump.

The seven-member crew of a C-17 Globemaster III flying to Kuwait followed all proper procedures and protocols when they stopped at Glasgow’s Prestwick Airport and when they booked their stay at Trump’s Turnberry resort for a mission in March, the Air Force’s top spokesperson told Military.com on Saturday.
